They should also file a complaint against WD, it’s posible that they used hard disks of that brand. Also Nike, since I heard one of the workers who built the data centre used Nike shoes whilst painting the walls.

This reminds me of when a friend became a cop. One day I saw him or I thought I saw him from far away but I couldn’t tell him that I wasn’t sure it was him because I couldn’t recognise him because of my myopia and, since I sometimes drive without my glasses on - what if one day he caught me?

Re:Accepting US car standards would risk European lives

Despite all the bs you’ll read here, Europeans also want bigger cars. For me the proof is that poor people car brands like Dacia no longer sell sedans.
I think the reason you don’t see many big cars is that we are generally so poor that we can’t afford what we would like to buy. At least where I live… Also our streets are old and narrow which makes it impractical.

Doesn't look like anybody can make 35% of their revenue from those countries though, does it.

Immigration is about short-changing the natives to make the billionaires wealthier, yes, we know.
People are also now learning this fact, which is why you’re getting unpalatable politicians elected.

I don’t understand this thing you do in the US of forcing you to do completely unrelated courses. You want to study computers and they put you through liberal arts or gender studies bullshit that is basically worthless. Why?

You have better employment options only if there are not enough people with degrees. If you give everybody the option of obtaining a degree then nobody is better off. In fact those at the bottom of the barrel end up in an even worse position.

…but there is cost to the student or their family. The difference being that paying for it or not is not an option. You can’t just say “I won’t go to uni, so I won’t pay for it”
